[Haskell-cafe] Cabal uninstall
Please add an automated uninstall option for Cabal packages. It's a pain to remove them manually, and the user expectation based on other package managers (Gem, Aptitude, MacPorts, Homebrew, Yum, Emerge) is that cabal uninstall/cabal remove does the intuitive thing: remove packages and their dependencies.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal uninstall
Seconded. This would have been very useful to me many times. I tried forwarding this to cabal-de...@haskell.org (Cabal development discussion), but it's a members-only list. Can someone in the in-crowd pass along the suggestion? Thanks, Tom On 7/9/11, Andrew Pennebaker andrew.penneba...@gmail.com wrote: Please add an automated uninstall option for Cabal packages.

They know about this suggestion and it's been something on the cards for a while I believe... but there's quite a while to go before it's feasible (e.g. actually recording which packages are installed). Note also that it's not quite correct to refer to cabal-install as a package manager: http://ivanmiljenovic.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/repeat-after-me-cabal-is-not-a-package-manager/ (this being one reason why). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
